My future novel, 2089, is the beginning of the Audiopt series and was first published by Unbound. Jack Smith objects to a life with no possibility for secrets. He blows up the surveillance computers at GCHQ, and goes on the run across across post-apocalyptic, climate-changed England. Hmm, dystopian or utopian ...?
Jack's second adventure brings in issues surrounding deepfake videos, in a fast-paced thriller where his relationship with Vicky Truva continues to develop.
The Audiopt series prequel is The Times of Malthus. This tale of two friends, Ellie and Loshie, follows them through the unravelling of society that eventually leads to the all-pervasive surveillance society of 2089.
My first novel, The Cricketer's Corpse, was launched serially, in real time. Each day, a new chapter was made available so readers could follow the murder mystery unfold, on the days each chapter happened, following along with the exploits of DS Tony Milburn, and his off-beat, surfer friend, Penfold.
The second Penfold detective mystery is The Kidney Killer: A kidnap, a theft, and a murderous moon-worshipping cult: Detective Sergeant Milburn has his work cut out to solve several cases that all appear at once.
I have a 30 year passion for hockey, and for surfing, which you may notice appear in several of my books! Hope you enjoy them.
I've also been writing physics textbooks for about 20 years now, and have a series of kids stories and activities in postcard format: FunPostcardsFrom
You can buy all these books direct from the author through my website.
At first I found this book not very accessible because of the questions at the end of the chapter sections. All the way through, these questions feel unbalanced; sometimes they take a long time to solve and other times it takes longer to get your books out and get ready than actually answer the questions.
As I read more of the book, after the mechanics section, I began to enjoy the content much more as the text naturally answered questions I had while reading it. Its content can be excellent.
Because this is a classroom textbook, I just wish that there was more than just great text. For example, a section detailing practicals more, questions with at least some important answers (and more consistent end of section questions), perhaps different types of questions (like end of section questions, exam like questions, questions to stretch your knowledge), questions for further thought, and places to go for more information.
